WCW273 Single tree

Photo Details

Poster: Holstein

Suz has given us a video on practicing brush strokes. I had problems doing her technique. This is my second attempt and still didn't get it right. I didn't do a row of trees as she did. I learned how to hold the brush to create loose leaves. I need to practice her technique. Come join us and paint some trees. TFL

It is a lovely tree, Linda. I noticed she rolled her brush and just tapped it in other places. A fun loose style and the dry brushing was similar to your seaside challenge.

Love your card, Linda. The single tree with those pretty flowers looks awesome. You painted a wonderful shadow under the tree and your background looks great.

Gorgeous, Linda. That shade of blue you chose for your sky just looks beautiful with the shade of green for your tree. Into my favorites.

It is hard to achieve those old bendy branches but I like your single tree standing proud

Fabulous tree - especially the way you did the leaves and the colors. I love the flowers on the bottom too. LOVELY! Hugz
